DESCRIPTION
Adjacent to the historic Mon Ami Restaurant & Winery, in the heart of Lake Erie vacation land, rests this independent retirement community. The Vineyard on Catawba is truly a destination location: secluded from seasonal traffic, close to shopping amenities, and sandwiched between Port Clinton, Sandusky (Cedar Point), and Middle Bass Island (Put-in-Bay). The Vineyard is the ultimate resort location in Ohio for retirees. This campus is surrounded by exciting attractions yet secluded within its own natural environment all at once. Residents enjoy all the comforts of home while maintaining a vacation sensation year-round.
 
The villa program at The Vineyard is all about healthy living, independence, socializing, accessibility, and luxury. Choices on models, options and customizing assure that all desires are met. All duplex-configuration villa designs were market-tested, critiqued and rearranged to offer today’s residents the absolute best of independent senior living. An extensive list of options and the opportunity of customizing directly with the architect make The Vineyard the most flexible and unique program in the area. All rooms are spacious yet efficient. Extra attention was put toward adequate storage. Barrier-free accessibility and personal needs considerations are included throughout.
 
The 3,500 s.f. community center and the gazebo on the pond provide residents, visitors and the public with first-class facilities in which to congregate and socialize. As key focal points, these structures aim to enhance the resort lifestyle The Vineyard affords all its residents.
 
'The Chalet,' designed as a mini assisted living facility, is a villa-style healthcare unit as revolutionary as it is experimental. Individuals and/or couples co-habitate in a small group home environment where the needs of individual residents will determine the type of healthcare offered. 'The Chalet' is an adaptive facility with the ability to redefine itself repeatedly over the years.
